I was hoping for more of a reference manual and this was definitely not that kind of book. Most of the information I knew already either through classes or common sense.

Don't get me wrong, it does explain the basics, but after being around my child for 2 weeks and then reading the book I learnt nothing new. <br /> <br />Possibly this book is more valuable if you are still expecting your first child rather than having just brought your child home, because I guarantee after having the child home for a few days you get to know the basics naturally VERY quickly.

It starts off with breastfeeding. Aside from its length the first chapter was a put off for me because the author seems biased about breastfeeding and a couple of other points. If a women weren't intending to or for some reason couldn't breastfeed, this chapter and this author may make her feel guilty which is unfortunate and certainly not what a mom with a newborn needs. I am pregnant now and plan to breastfeed because I agree with the benefits, but women during this time should receive support with whatever they choose (bottle or breast). Encouragement to breastfeed is probaly a good thing, but I just didn't like the vibe from this book...at least so far. Maybe I haven't read more yet because of the initial turn off. I rate it with 3 stars because I like a lot of details and this book appears to be fairly clear and practical for the new mom. Overall, you probably wouldn't regret buying the book, but as with me, you may want plan to buy others on newborns for various opinions so you may reach your own conclusions on how to mother your child.

The only thing I would change is to have more cushion on the seat. Rating: 4 / 5 For the price and quality, it is good for new moms or anyone feeding their baby.
